This is a stereoscopic version of the Spirit panoramic camera's "Lookout"
panorama, acquired on the rover's 410th to 413th martian days, or sols
(Feb. 27 to Mar. 2, 2005). The view is from a position known informally
as "Larry's Lookout" along the drive up "Husband Hill." The summit of
Husband Hill is the far peak near the center of this panorama and is
about 200 meters (656 feet) away from the rover and about 45 meters (148
feet) higher in elevation. The bright rocky outcrop near the center of
the panorama is part of the "Cumberland Ridge," and beyond that and to
the left is the "Tennessee Valley." Spirit's tracks leading back from the
"West Spur" region can be seen on the right side of the panorama. The
region just beyond the area where the tracks made their last zig-zag is
the area known as "Paso Robles," where Spirit discovered rock and soil
deposits with very high sulfur abundances.
This stereo anaglyph is presented in a cylindrical-perspective projection
with special "untilt" processing. The tilt of the rover (roll -14 degrees,
pitch +13 degrees) has been removed by special processing of the images,
resulting in a flat horizon (thus a more "natural" view) with very little
vertical disparity. (Vertical disparity is one of the main things that
give you a headache when looking at stereo images.) Geometric and
brightness corrections have been applied.
Figure 1 is the left-eye view of a stereo pair and Figure 2 is the
right-eye view of a stereo pair.
